ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the addition of different concentrations of IGF-I and insulin to egg yolk-based extender to improve bovine semen cryopreservation. Two experiments were developed to evaluate the effects of the additives in two commercial extenders, Botubov® (Experiment 1) and Triladyl® (Experiment 2), both with the same design. Three ejaculates from four bulls (n = 12) were used. Each ejaculate was divided into seven equal fractions for dilution (60x106 spermatozoa/mL) in the following treatments: CON: extender only; IGF100: IGF-I 100ng/mL; IGF200: IGF-I 200ng/mL; INS150: insulin 150µUI/mL; INS200: insulin 200µUI/mL; ASS1: IGF-I 100ng/mL + insulin 150µUI/mL; ASS2: IGF-I 200ng/mL + insulin 200µUI/mL. Semen was cryopreserved by an automated system. Post-thawed sperm were evaluated regarding motility by CASA (Computer-assisted sperm analysis), and membranes by fluorescent probes (H342, PI, FITC-PSA and JC-1). For Botubov® extender, INS150 was more efficient in preserving total and progressive motility, VCL, BCF, plasma and mitochondrial membranes. A similar response was seen when insulin was added to the Triladyl® extender, INS150 was more efficient in preserving sperm motility, plasma membrane integrity and mitochondrial potential. Thus, the addition of insulin 150µUI/mL, regardless of the composition of the extender, contributes to better preserving bovine sperm from the cryopreservation effects.


RESUMO Este estudo teve o objetivo de avaliar a adição de diferentes concentrações de IGF-I e insulina a diluidores, à base de gema de ovo, para melhorar a criopreservação do sêmen bovino. Dois experimentos foram desenvolvidos para avaliar os efeitos dos aditivos em dois diluidores comerciais: Botubov® (Experimento 1) e Triladyl® (Experimento 2), ambos com o mesmo delineamento. Foram utilizados três ejaculados de quatro touros (n=12). Cada ejaculado foi dividido em sete frações para diluição (60x106espermatozoides/mL), nos seguintes tratamentos: CON: somente diluidor; IGF100: 100ng/mL de IGF-I; IGF200: 200ng/mL de IGF-I; INS150: 150µUI/mL de insulina; INS200: 200µUI/mL de insulina; ASS1: 100ng/mL de IGF-I + 150µUI/mL de insulina; ASS2: 200ng/mL de IGF-I + 200µUI/mL de insulina. O sêmen foi criopreservado por sistema automatizado. Após a criopreservação, o sêmen foi avaliado quanto à motilidade espermática por CASA e quanto às membranas espermáticas (plasmática, acrossomal e mitocondrial) por sondas fluorescentes (H342, PI, FITC-PSA e JC-1). Para o diluidor Botubov®, INS150 foi mais eficiente em preservar motilidades total e progressiva, VCL, BCF, integridade da membrana plasmática e potencial mitocondrial. Resposta semelhante foi observada quando a insulina foi adicionada ao diluidor Triladyl®, INS150 foi mais eficiente na preservação da motilidade, integridade das membranas e potencial mitocondrial quando comparado aos demais grupos. Assim, a adição de 150µUI/mL de insulina aos diluidores, independentemente da composição, contribui para melhor criopreservação dos espermatozoides bovinos.

ABSTRACT

This experiment was designed with the objective of developing a simple, practical, and high repeatability technique for the simultaneous evaluation of the integrity of the plasmatic and acrosomal membranes, as well as funcional mitochondria of domestic fowl spermatozoa using an association of fluorescent probes. Four ejaculates (motility > 80% and abnormal morphology 10%) from each of six Ross male broiler breeder (n=24) were diluted in TALP sperm medium (25x10(6) spermatozoa/mL) and split into two aliquots, and one of these aliquots was flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and thawed to damage all cellular membranes. Three treatments were prepared from these aliquots, with the following ratios of Fresh semen:Flash frozen semen: 100:0 (T100), 50:50 (T50), and 0:100 (T0). A 150-µL aliquot of diluted semen was placed in a microcentrifuge tube with the addition of 2-µL PI, 2-µL MITO, and 50-µL FITC-PSA, and incubated at 38.5º C/8 min in the dark. An 8-µL sample was placed on a slide, coverslipped, and examined by epifluorescence microscopy. Each sample had 200 cells counted and classified based on the fluorescence emitted by each probe. By regression analysis, plasma membrane integrity, as detected by PI, was determined as: v=4.17+0.82X (R²=0.95). Acrosome integrity, as detected by FITC-PSA, generated the equation: v=4.19+0.84X (R²=0.96). Functional mitochondria was estimated by the equation v=3.20+0.83X (R²=0.96). This is an efficient technique to simultaneously evaluate plasmatic, acrosomal, and mitochondrial membranes in fowl sperm. It is suggested that its application in flow cytometry systems allows this methodology to be applied in large scale.
